From this week two things have officially started...and neither of them i like lol.

My exams start this week, week 13 of the university semester (languages) and my asthma. its starting to get really cold here in tassie, was 5 degrees last night (41 fareinheight - cant spell lol) and im starting to feel tight in the chest and cough all ready. My exam on tuesday this week is my listening exam for indonesian. then the week after (next week is study week) i have my spoken exam on the monday and then the rest of the exams...written for indo and asian studies are in the end of the first week and end of second week.

friday the 13th june - Indonesian reading and writting HMN207
Wednesday 18th June - Indonesian conversation HMN202
Thursday 19th june - Asian studies HMA260

I may not be on here as much for a couple of weeks due to exams and possibly my asthma. Im hoping i dont end up in hospital like i did last year. When you have time, please remember to pray for me particulary with the exams because i need to pass all subjects or it will affect me like nothing else.
thank you for your prayers

You've got my prayers sweetie!!!! I'm confident that you will do wonderfully!! You know your stuff honey! No worries...the Lord knows what you need.
Make sure you bundle up..(uh oh, here comes momma bear...lol) Keep your mouth covered when you go out into the cold. Wrap up in a warm scarf...when the cold air hits, it takes your breath away. Eat lots of garlic...put garlic on everything!! It's good for you, don't question me!!! ha ha
My mother used to put garlic cloves in my dad's work boots in the winter. Poor man would come home smelling like he'd been battling vampires all day long! lol But he never got sick... I tried it with Sean, but he said it made him too hungry... oh well. =)

Love you soooo much honey!! I'll keep you covered in prayer for your asthma as well as your exams. After you pass with flying colors go find Andrew and borrow his marble and come an visit me!!! You can bring him along too...It's summer here....you'd love it!!! hint hint hint...Come HOME!!!!

I love you again!!
Blessings to you sweetie!
Love, Lisa

aaww thanks mum!!! i cant wait til i come home and see you!!!

Andrew said to me that if i didnt get a good report he will dob on me!! his exact words were if he heard i didnt get good marks he would tell mum (thats you)!!! LOL
dont you just love it when one of your kids make trouble with one of the other kids? LOL
love you mummy *angelic face*

dang it my internet keeps dropping out...GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

You got mine too!

Pinkpirate,

I hope that you are breathing better and your chest isn't tightening up. Honey, remember to eat balanced meals and please remember NOT TO OVERHEAT YOURSELF! Sometimes when the weather is cold we have a tendency to overdress, overblanket, and overkill. Unfortunately, sometimes by overdoing the warmth thingie, we sometimes have a more difficult time in breathing. I learned this lesson the hard way with my son. My Chris has asthma and as a baby we overdressed him, and without knowing what we were doing, we were making him sicker and sicker. (That's what a doctor told us.) When we began to dress him in loose wearing clothes and open the window in his room a crack in the winter, did his condition begin to improve. I will pray for your physical healing, when you feel good you can concentrate and focus on your tests. You will be in my prayers. Please let us know how you feeling and how you did on your exams. I love you.

Love,

Al

thank you Al and Peacemaker. i do over dress like i have about 4-5 layers of clothing on, plus jackets and vests and scarfs so its prolly a total of like 7-9 layers lol. but i have to keep my chest warm and my throat warm. i breathed in a bit of cold air even inside and i coughed my guts up. i hate it!! i really hope its not going to be a problem when i have my exams....the places we normally have them is a big area and is normally cold...all mine are first thing in the morning at 9am!!! so i will have to take in my puffers but i do have permission to access medication, mostly for my wrist like taking panadol but i forgot to ask the dr about my puffers for my asthma. of course i can easily blame the exam supervisors if i have an asthma attack and they dont let me have my meds for it lol. i doubt that would happen though but you can never be too sure. all my exams are extended for 3 hours instead of 2!! i hate it! i just want to fly away and not have to do them...either THAT or go to USA and do my exams with my new mummy she could be my examiner lol.
Love to you all and many blessings. thanks for your prayers.

Come on Pinkster! You can do it! May the right answers light up in your eyes!

Pink Pirate,

My son will soon be taking his final exams (last year of high-school) and he also is stressed. Pinky, it's normal to become nervous about taking a test...a final. But sometimes people who are test takers suffer from an overload of anxiety. When this happens sometimes you can develop a fog around areas of study, in which you knew a short time ago, but because of anxiety that darn fog returns! Pinky do not allow anxiety make you freeze up. Please don't allow nerves this sort of control over you. Your a good person and you know the material that you are going to be tested on. Instead of getting nervous, why not be confident? You studied. You prepared for the testing. Why not enter the classroom with confidence?

Pinky if I could take your asthma from you, I would. I have learned to really hate the rattling of the lungs, and the rapid breathing. You can bet that I have your back covered in prayer in this area. In many cases stress can worsen the symptoms in asthma...

Since you already have a mummy can I be your aunty? I just think that your a really good kid.

In Christian Love,

Al

aaawww i love you too Al. of course you can be my aunty that means your andrews aunty as well cause hes ma bro sweet!! i scored an aunty!! yay you do know i consider everyone on here family anyways Andrew said the same kind of thing regarding the asthma...he said i could have one of his lungs but my lungs are fine...its my airways that are the main cause of asthma...when the airways clog up with mucus. its a yucky sight....almost the same as lung cancer but different. thank you for your prayers aunty Al xoxo

aaww you think ima good kid?? *head swells*
i made vanilla slice today am waiting for it to set

My thoughts and prayers are with you pinkpirate. My son also has asthma and very bad allergies. He sat through his English finals a few years back with a nose bleed due to constant sneezing. It's not nice at all.
P.S. Just so you know, he received an A which shocked him. He was sure he'd failed as he was so worried about bleeding onto his exam paper he had half a pack of tissues pressed against his face.

lol yea i was like that last year....i thought i had TOTALLY bummed out on my asian studies and japanese literature in film exams....i actually thought i did better in japanese but i didnt!! it was the other way round!!! i got a credit for asian studies and a pass for japanese!!

So we (Pinky and I) have an Aunty now? Sweet..Does that mean us kids can expect Christmas presents
I agree with the garlic, or chilli, that stuff does wonders in the heat department. If you poor in the kitchen like me I suggest Potato with some added garlic and maybe abit of Onion cooked in butter, chuck in a snag on the side an you could almost call it a meal.
Taking a test with confidence is the key, trust me on that one. Most my passing marks came from tests and I can count the amount of times I did homework from school on 1 hand. I always figured, if I am gonna fail, i'm gonna look good while I do it. This approuch never went so well with assignments though... No matter how confident you are, it's really hard to put together a 1-2month asignment in the 10 minutes before class starts. So be prepared and confident and success is assured!
I also suggest having a mildly sugery drink with you for the test, disguise it as water in a non-clear container if you must.
However a good pick-me-up during the test can do wonders. Flavoured water is a good one.
It's so lovely that we're all so friendly here, I love you guys

P.S. Yum vanilla slice!!
It's sunday tomorrow so i'll probably get invited to somones house for dinner, and guests always get desert when invited over for dinner

thank you everyone for your prayers. im actually feeling pretty nervous and stressed at the moment....as my exam is only tomorrow morning. i now have for tomorrow: Grammar class - big grammar test redo, Indonesian Listening Exam in my conversation class (clashes with reporting asia class) and makanan Indonesia (indonesian food...we have indonesian food coming to us YAY), Asian studies tute and my convo class and a big vocab redo test. and then i go to work. what a day eh? oh boy...not looking forward to it. ive got so much stuff to do...i think im going to explode!!! *runs around screaming and stressing....literally runs into my brother andrew...then runs around in circles til dizzy...then falls over...then gets up and runs around again....SPLAT! runs into the wall and then the door.....*

PiratePinky where's your head at? What kind pirate are you!!
When the going gets tough, the tough get tougher.
You are goign to do splendedly on your test.
I believe you are smarter then me, so if you fail that makes me an idiot, are you calling me an idiot?!

I have faith in you pinky

Go show those Indonesians what benig Indonesian is all about!

lol...uummm...yea...you know how scary exams are RIGHT?
theys es scary *hides* im going to be studying like a mad man psycho path studies his victims before he goes for the kill....

Andrew,

Good advice that you are giving your sister...if you keep this up, she nor you will need any advice from us older folks. I am always glad to add on new family members.

Pinky, you will do fine. Where is your confidence? You studied...your prepared...you know your stuff...so what's the problem? You go girl!

Try to calm down before the test. Take a walk, smell the roses, clear your head. Think about all the love your friends are sending you through prayer.

Love,

Al

Aww aunty Al

i havent studied yet....

but i will.....

uumm...

when i get around to it?? ....

in about.....

20mins?? LOL

im doing some of my 1,500 word essay thats due this thursday...im putting down an essay format before i am going to look over stuff for my exam. i know my exam has priority but i need to do this so i can spend the rest of the night before i go sleepies at midnight (prolly) lol.

Family always watches out for family, and I said nothing that wasn't true.
Pinky just needs to realize her smartness and stop being a scaredy pants.

Whenever something big is going to happen for me, even somthing like the first day at a job.
I think really positive, and completely exadurate the positive results that I convince myself will happen.
For job interview, I would imagine the interviewer will be a very good looking woman who's also the boss, and we will hit things off instantly. I'll ask her on a date, we'll end up being married, and not only will I get the job but i'll end up owning half the company. By the time I get to the interview i'm really excited. Then even if things go harrible it doesn't matter, because I had so much fun leading up to the interview just imagining how succesful it could have been, even failing horrible can't dampen my mood. Also I always think, if God wants me to have this job, it's mine before the interview even starts.
Although you might not wish to get as carried away as me, I believe you should give some serious thought to your approuch to not only tests, but these situations in general.

"Whether you think you can or you can't, either way you are right." - Henry Ford.

I laugh in the face of failure, because I know when I suceed it will only taste all the more better.

If you cannot tell, I am trying to prompt you to overcoming your fear, it improve your results.
Also with all that extra time you will have that would have previously been spent being in fear, you can do further study!

You got the stuff, just try to be tough
You got the skill, you just gotta chill.
You got the brains, stay strong through the pains
You got the wit, I think you'll do....awesome.

Goodluck Pinky
I expect a full detailed report tomorrow or sooner explaining how it went

LOL...pinky my dear...Andrew sounds just like his mom..awwwwwwwwww. =)

Oh sweetie, you will do just fine. I'll be right there with you, but don't forget who is always there with you...JESUS!! So honey, you just relax in His love for you and know that no matter what happens it's a part of your walk with Him. He knows where you're going honey..it would be easier if we knew. So you just let go and hand all your stress over to Him because He has a super wonderful plan all worked out for you. No worries honey..He loves you so much. And so do I.

Drink a nice big warm cup of milk and climb into bed. Say your prayers knowing He is listening and will give you a stress free, koala bear filled dreams.

Love you honey!!
Blessings to you..
Love, Mom

thanks little brother. I love you!!

i will let you know how i went.

aaww mummy...i wish you were here i miss you so much. *sighs* im sure i will do fine...i just have to keep telling myself that and study so i remember and know my stuff. love you heaps too!!! I LOVE YOU MUM

Two things that might be helpful...

First is, that the morning of an exam, first thing before leaving the house, is to realize that the study time is over,
so "what you now know is what you know and that is it", which brings about a peace, for the work is already done.
You only have to reproduce it... the easy part.

Second, at the threshold, while stepping outside, invite God to walk with you, and embark with Him on a new daily adventure,
"as if" on a stroll with your best friend. Or better: ... because you ARE on a stroll with your BESTEST FRIEND!

So, what could possibly go wrong? =)

ok, reporting back on exam today before i get into studying.

Last night, i was talking to Andrew and he gives really good advice on what to do before exam time lol. i had a little bit of pumpkin soup. studied. went to bed at 11pm. woke up this morning at 8:10am, had a shower, was running late for class so i didnt have breakfast...not that i normally have breakfast lol. got to uni at 9:15am...i was 15mins late for class and we had a big grammar test...so...i apologised for being late, got the test and sat the test. i think i did really well considering lol. i only couldnt think of 5 words in the whole entire 2 page test. THEN i did a bit of study before the listening exam. we had some makanan indonesia (indonesian food) before we started...to get us motivated. was yummy!!! then we had the exam............
i had trouble getting information for somethings but the majority of it it wasnt too bad. i think i did reasonably well. then we had more makanan indonesia. then i went to my tute for asian studies, then i had indonesian again and an inclass make up vocab test. now...today had gone good so far...i was feeling confident and i felt like i had done well....and my marks would bump up....until i got the vocab test. everything that i studied went through the window...couldnt remember it..it was on the tip of my tounge and i couldnt remember it!!! i was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
so i probablly completely FAILED the vocab test so now im all sad and stressed lol. stressed mostly cause im having trouble doing my big research essay.




Research Essay: -> moved to homework thread "BIG WORDS"

im going to post on what ive got so far for my research essay intro to see what peoples think of it in the homework thread....bigwords

These scriptures can be read as a prayer for your lungs. Blessings !

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=PSALM%20119
y Yodh
73 Your hands made me and formed me;
give me understanding to learn your commands.
74 May those who fear you rejoice when they see me,
for I have put my hope in your word.

75 I know, O LORD, that your laws are righteous,
and in faithfulness you have afflicted me.

76 May your unfailing love be my comfort,
according to your promise to your servant.

77 Let your compassion come to me that I may live,
for your law is my delight.

78 May the arrogant be put to shame for wronging me without cause;
but I will meditate on your precepts.

79 May those who fear you turn to me,
those who understand your statutes.

80 May my heart be blameless toward your decrees,
that I may not be put to shame.

```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

l Lamedh
89 Your word, O LORD, is eternal;
it stands firm in the heavens.

90 Your faithfulness continues through all generations;
you established the earth, and it endures.

91 Your laws endure to this day,
for all things serve you.

92 If your law had not been my delight,
I would have perished in my affliction.

93 I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have preserved my life.

94 Save me, for I am yours;
I have sought out your precepts.

95 The wicked are waiting to destroy me,
but I will ponder your statutes.

96 To all perfection I see a limit;
but your commands are boundless.

Aw pinky, you had a blackout as you panicked because it was unexpected. The expected part of the day you did so well, there is no reason to believe that you failed. The next time you will not panic but laugh at the enemy and say: "Oh no, you will not fool me again, for I know I can do this". =)

i went and saw david strassman live tonight in hobart, ted.e.bare's farewell tour...it was fantastic!!! i cant tell you how it ended because he asked us not to because the script is only 3 weeks old lol. but i got a ted.e teddy and he talks!! lol. the show was fabulous but the only thing that ruined the night was my asthma. its starting to really make me sick....im starting to get wheezy in the chest and im coughing more and more and my chest is getting tight. so please pray my asthma doesnt worsen due to the cold nights, particulary tonight....although i did dress warmly and covered my mouth and face with clothing to stop the majority of the cold air getting breathed in. if i get any worse then i am at the moment then its a trip to the dr to get put on 2 more drugs, both steriods and also the ventilator thingy and then if i get worse still then its a trip to hospital and i cant afford that...not now...not when i have exams...particualry on monday at 11am i have my spoken exam *cries* i hate asthma

I understand, . . . I fell down a staircase several years ago and injured my lungs. Similar
to being hit by a car, is what the doctors told me. When you go airborne and land on the
bottom of the oak stairs, it knocks the breathe out and bruises the lungs.

Then I was exposed to black mold, which re-set the asthma spells just like you describe.

One day, I prayed like Paul, to determine if I should be released or adjust to it as
the thorn of the flesh, "my grace is sufficient" . . .

That is why I shared with you the Psalms 119, sections.

And for your understanding, God (IHVH) has used my asthma, to depend more on
Him. As a holistic warrior, meaning I am a very determined person (ha) . . . I
realized I had over extended myself and volunteered way ahead of what
even the Lord expected of me.

Now, after the severe asthma has balanced and is managed . . . more with my observance
of staying away from chemicals in food, smoke fumes, gas fumes, etc. Which all
can trigger a spell.

However, the lessons I learned about the value of my human lungs are as follows:

I now respect my ability to breathe the air. Which I never thought about, since my
near death drowning, as a child.
So I fully have accepted the importance spiritual wise of the breathe of air, that God (IHVH)
breathed into Adam.

Also . . . the air is so damaged by pollution, I am reminded of the pollution
of the spirit. To resolve myself to filter out the negative.

During my evaluation and contemplation of the lungs . . .

. . . I became truly involved with the role I played to my family. The over extended
area of always being the one to never say, " No ". When common sense tells us, there
is the time to say, ' No ' . . . called boundary setting.

The lungs taught me to balance my heart and soul with the search for God's will in my life.

Love + grace + generosity + strength + power + judgement

All of these six items, are concerning the lung. Not just the lung, however, this is
how the Lord helped me to not reject the asthma, with hatred.

Many will think, I do not believe in miracle healings. I do.

The message about the human body, is one of many conclusions in the area
of divine healing and wellness. Each area of the matter, is personal between
the human and the Lord.

If you know without a doubt, you should not be having asthma, the Lord
will provide the healing for you. If you know as I was shown, that the sickness
was to help strengthen me to balance boundaries in my life, then so be it.

Praise to God (IHVH) . . . in all things !

You are a treasure CSA....it is such a pleasure to read your posts.....at least the ones I understand


There are some fascinating, intelligent and very, very special people on this forum. I feel blessed, as I'm certain others do, to be gathered together to learn from you and the others. To borrow a line from Here Am I ...."I see God's hand in this."

You helped open the treasure chest, Whirlwind : -------- Much love, to you -------->

thank you for your insight on asthma. it has helped me to understand a little bit more. my dad thought that i would have grown out of it but i have done the complete oposite to that. as each year gets colder my asthma worsens so im hoping it doesnt this year because it will put me back with many things like uni, work and my fire fighting.
im feeling ok today, just a bit tight in the chest and a little wheezy but ive got the dog bark type of cough which ALWAYS comes with asthma.....

ok, so far i have done pretty good with my exams and assignments. got a distinction (73%) for an assignment i did for asian studies and for my Indonesian spoken exam for HMN202 i got a credit with 64%. tomorrow (being friday) i have my HMN207 reading and writing exam at 9am. im trying to study for it but there are too many distractions and i have a high temperature so please remember to pray for me. thanks!

Lord, please help me with this exam tomorrow morning. please help me to remember the correct words, the literature material we studied, the grammar we studied, everything we studied, but the words and meaning in particular, for both indonesian and english. Thank you Lord for helping me with my exams so far. i cant do these exams without you, so thank you so much Lord. Im sure your proud of me
On another note, thank you for taking all my burdens away from me. please help me to not pick up other peoples burdens as they are not mine to carry. thank you for my pastor who has councilled me during this time.
i post this prayer so others can hear/read what im praying for because sometimes praying for specifics is more significant then praying for something with a wide variety of choices. with this exam tomorrow i need the specifics for prayer. thank you so much for people on this forum who love and care about me and everyone on here. this forum is truely blessed. thank you for everyone on here. Please help me remember.
In Jesus' precious name, Amen

ok...just got out of exam. the first thing i feel is pain lol. my wrist is the size of a ballon...but blown 5 times the size it is meant to be LOL. its so sore....im going to diieeee *dies* xp

anyways, exam wasnt too bad. i totally kicked the exam in the guts for the literature part....for the language part...the words, the grammar....it kicked me in the gut...so it was a two way exam lol. over all i will prolly get a pass but i think i did ok. im not very happy with how i went but i cant complain because i know i will pass so thats the main thing. then i went and saw my indonesian lecturer for that class (the exam for HMN207) and i got her to get me my Indonesian literature story. yes, the story of ET2. well...i passed... but im not happy with the results *cries*

*cries again* OH MUM i did some things in the story wrong that was really simple!!! i lost so many marks for it too!!! *cries* this is the comment that the teacher left me:

An imaginative story, but great numbers of language errors, some of them in very basic construction which you should know well.

i got 10.5/20

*cries*

Dear Mum,

You must be very proud of your youngins! Good kids! Blessings to you and your family!

Love,
Annie

please pray for my asthma. its really bad today, im just one trip away from going to the hospital, i couldnt breathe in church today and when i took my steriods (seretide and ventilin) the relief only lasted for a couple of minutes and then i couldnt breathe again.

Hon did they ever examine what causes your astma? There must be something that you are ALLERGIC for.

i honestly dont know. i seemed to have stopped coughing but im still really shaky, ive had to force more drugs down to keep my chest less tight then what it was before....so i can breathe but it really hurts to breathe. its got something to do with the mucus in the airways...but stuff like dust, smoke particles, cold air, changes in weather, stress, can be a cause of asthma. mine is fake smoke (as i discovered last night), cold air, dust, changes in weather, sometimes stress can, and exercise. i cant run very far without having an acute asthma attack...so if some nut was chasing me and i ran out of breath id be done for. i can run about 50-60 meters without having too much trouble. but im going to the gym and doing cardio stuff and that is specifically to help with my asthma. but havent been for a while. but at the moment its mostly the cold air and low clouds.

You have the perfect excuse for your ninja mask now, Pinkster!

Oh and about the dudes chasing you, it is easier to let them do the running?

hey spare mum,

im sorry i couldnt finish the rampage with you, i fell asleep

tchyea, i like your idea!!!

i love you justice

please pray for my exam tomorrow for Indonesian conversation written exam. i have had a look at the overview for the exam and im trying so hard to remember words. im so worried about this exam....its a hard one

so please remember to keep me in your prayers. after the exam i had last friday, my wrist was sooooo sore and it was really swollen so please pray for my wrist as well. thank you all for your prayers.

I am worried about your wrist, did you have it checked? (x-ray)...

What is the Indonesian word for God?

my wrist has been xrayed and had bone scans, all that jazz. its still swollen because of the post traumatic arthirtis and the De Quervains Tenosynavitis (to do with the tendons) in the wrist which is why there is still a lump where it is swollen. i have to see my dr again after the exams to see if i need physio.

the indonesian word for God is kinda hard. because the indonesian religion is mostly hindu and islam, with very little christians, the word for god is Allah; but the word for the christian God is Tuhan. so the sentence God is great is: Tuhan akbar....if that makes sense.

if you want to look words up, go to www.indodic.com and it translates english/indonesian and vice versa. i dont like using Allah when im referring to God in indonesian because i think its referring to the false gods of their beliefs.

it just clicked to me just then, the trouble i had with my asthma in church on sunday was an acute asthma attack. so im off to the doctor tomorrow after my exam. i hope and pray they can give me something stronger....i dont want another attack *cries*

im worried about my exam tomorrow, not only passing it, but its going to be 4 degrees over night tonight and i have to be at uni for the exam by 8:45am and around then its going to be about 7 degrees and im going to be sitting for 3 hours in a cold room....so please pray i dont have another asthma attack, particulary in the exam room....i dont want to have to get in the exam, have an attack and have to defer my exam...i dont want to sit it again. just thinking about the room tomorrow morning being cold makes me feel like i need to cough and splatter my guts everywhere lol. your prayers are appreciated.

Oh honey...I'm sorry. I wish I were there to take care of you! Make sure you bundle up.. keep your mouth covered..wear a tshirt under your shirt to give you an extra little layer at school. Can you drink hot tea or anything hot that might help keep your airways open a little while you're taking your test. Let me know how your appointment goes.

I'll be praying for you sweetie.
I love you!!
Mum

im only allowed water in the exam room unfortunately. dont worry about that, i'll be rugged up and will have a hot drink before my exam and will take my drugs before the exam. will let you know how the exam goes. love you too mum and thanks for dropping a prayer for me.

love your jessie xoxoxox

i had my exam today. i think i went ok....the room was cold though and my asthma was playing up a bit. i went to the doctors after the exam and i now have much stronger medication for my asthma now...instead of being on 250/25 for seretide (medium to dark purple coloured container....more of a nice mauvey colour), i am now on the strongest seretide you can get, 500/50 and thats a really dark purple and this SHOULD help alot more then the last one did. the dr listened to my chest, and i was pretty crackly in the chest but she said i sounded like i was far off from having another attack...for the time being...provided it doesnt get colder and i stay warm. last exam tomorrow and im so looking forward to when i can relax and not do anything for a while....of course i might be bored but i will have the opportunity to catch up on my house work lol. thanks all for your prayers

Well, if you really clean house...COME HOME!!! You'll never be bored here! lol...5 minutes ago I sent the kids in to brush their teeth...I hear Moooooooommmmmmm! So I go into the bathroom to find the boys laughing hysterically as Alexis is painting the bathroom mirror with handprints of toothpaste. I think I'll just frame it and leave it..lol *Hey Lisa, nice artwork in your bathroom!* **Yeah, it's an original masterpiece!** LOL.
I love my kids even in all their messiness. Sometimes I lose my patience and want to run out of the house screaming..."my house has been taken over by wild monkeys HEEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!" ha ha... But my fantasy fades and I calm down and just laugh as I clean up the next mess.

It really wouldn't be good for you to be here right now because of the wildfires. It's pretty bad. They've been burning since June 2 and It they really haven't been able to get it together. So wait until the smoke clears out and then come home.

I'm praying for you sweet girl. I love you soooooo much!!!
Love, Mum

thanks mum, i love you too. i'll come after my exams because smoke doesnt affect my asthma...but fake smoke does lol. and i just wanna play with fire!!!

aaww the kids sound like so much fun, i wanna be there really bad now

love you!!! back to study for me for another hour *sighs*

love you again

yay exams are over for me!!! yay!!! *does a happy dance* now that they are over (finally!!) im going to really get into my bible and the scriptures.

the exam wasnt too bad...i managed to cram alot in my tiny pea-sized brain and it stayed there!!! WOOT!!!! i got stuck on some limitations on embedding and i just sat there, rested my wrist cause it was getting really sore and is massively swollen from writing, and i said to God, i forgot to study what the definition of limitation is, and what the exam would mean by limitations and what kind would be relevant to the exam, and then i just sat there thinking, and then i gave up and i asked him to pop something into my mind that i can write on cause the essay needed to be 500 words, and then instantly something popped into my head and i was able to continue writing, so thanks heaps God!!

i feel so relieved now that the exams are over for me, now i just gotta pray hard that my results are good and that i pass. i got my research essay back and i got a credit so im happy

and my asthma isnt too bad....took the first lot of the strong strong seretide and it went on my tounge and the taste nearly made me throw up uugghh it was so horrible!!! anyways i better get used to it lol but its a different device to the normal puffers...this one you suck on a thing after you flick a switch which makes the dose available. its weird...dunno why they just didnt stick with the puffer form. thanks all for your prayers, please keep praying about my results and my asthma!! love you all
